When you say "point charge correction factor" what are you referring to? The 1.16 factor? Where do you see 0.92?

I was suspecting about temp files like *opt.pdb or some files responsible for it. But I looked at the terminal window it creates temp file. I have even cross checked the log file the error occurred certainly in the simulated annealing method. I have generated downhill charges but its exaggerated.

This happens when running sequential optimizations without clearing the results box, changing the number of atoms that are included in the optimization from the preceding run. This is a bug; I will try to address it prior to the final 1.9.2 final release. In the meantime, if you change the number of atoms that are included in the optimization, first clear the results from any previous runs.
